Wolfgang U Eckart in Medizin and Kolonialimperialismus: Deutschland 1884-1945 state that "A conclusive assessment of leprosy care in Cameroun is not easy, given the different developments and their variable success. The prevalence of leprosy was, in fact, known, and substantiated by reliable statistics, from 1904/5 at the latest. But much was “estimated”, “assumed”, “reckoned”, rather than records being kept - unsurprising given that exact population censuses could not be carried out up to 1914, in Cameroun, let alone any of the other Protectorates. Estimates in Cameroun districts ranged from one percent to “several” to 22%. He continues "The first steps in leprosy control should nonetheless be seen as progressive. The 1908 Announcement on systematic leprosy control showed the way forward from the traditional European policy of prison-isolation conditions for patients to a humane ethno-sensitive accommodation of patients in village-like settlements – as in Alfred Mansfeld’s exemplary 'Lepra-Ackerbau-Kolonie'. Whether or not its success in a relatively short period was owed to ethnic, political or other peculiarities of the Ossidinge district, it was not typical. The Medical Reports of 1911-12 described Ossidinge as an exception in a generally bleak background. They testified to complaints from far and wide in Cameroun, unanimously decrying the difficulties of the open settlements, and demanding closed, strictly supervised prison-like leprosaria with specialist doctors. One can only speculate on possible developments in the coming years, had WWI not intervened.[Other][Africa, Cameroun, German Colonies]

The implementation of the apparently prudent, simple, cost-free (apart from the doctor) suggestions in Togo was delayed for two more years. No further searches for leprosy cases, or mention of cases, appeared in the protectorate memoranda until the visits in 1902/1903 of the new government doctor to the endemic area on other business. He found two cases with “plentiful leprosy bacilli”. However, he proposed no control measures, since the coastal region seemed “to be free” of leprosy; in the interior cases would be isolated on distant farms. A year later, a newly arrived doctor, Hintze, undertook searches and found the disease in almost every village. His approach was diametrically opposed to Wendland’s: he was convinced of the extensive spread of leprosy, and that it would be gradually wiped out in Togo through effective isolation.

Wardha, Maharashtra, India: a leprosy asylum was maintained at Wardha by the Scotch Free Church Mission. In 1904 it contained 20 leprosy patients, this number being considerably smaller than during the three preceding years. The annual expenditure on the asylum was about Rs 2,000, which sum was almost wholly provided from the funds of the mission. Admission was entirely voluntary and the inmates were prohibited from begging in the neighbourhood. Source: Maharashtra State Gazetteer, Wardha District.
